COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PROVERBS VERBALIZING THE CONCEPTUAL OPPOSITION"INTELLIGENCE/STUPIDITY" IN ENGLISH AND RUSSIAN

Abstract

Systematic research on the linguistic objectification of basic concepts from a linguocultural perspective is an important direction in modern linguistics. The analysis of the verbalization of universal concepts and conceptual oppositions that reflect key elements of the human worldview, such as "body," "life," "time," "space," "husband/wife," "mind/stupidity," and others, is particularly interesting, as their verbalizers are among the most culturally significant.
